He's not good enough and too quick to blame others
Asked Tua what’s gone wrong with the passing game over the past month.
He said first of all, he needed to play better — but he was also disappointed in how he prepped the Dolphins’ receivers this week, from an operational and communication standpoint:
“I feel like I let my guys down.”

I think that means that the needs of the environment will have lesser significance than housing etc
New Ministry will include programmes like Going for Housing Growth, transit-oriented development, congestion pricing, road user charges, Local Water Done Well, City and Regional Deals, and the National Adaptation Framework.

Has the whiff of Hilary's "undesirables" about it and is likely to be as successful. Being an "unqualified" Greens supporter I find it condescending
Yup, only 15% of ACT voters have a Bachelor's degree or higher compared to the Greens which is at a massive 55% of Greens voters with a Bachelor's degree or higher.
Also educated people are 2x as likely to vote Labour than National and a massive 7x more likely to vote Greens than National

Yeah Starmer's victory was because of unique circumstances (14 years of austerity) and the electorate did not realise what a mendacious toad he is - in the pockets of big business. Chris (there's no money tree) Hopkins showed us who he was in his 9 months as PM. Starmer is now the worst polling PM.
Lots of Starmerite style red flags in the Hipkins interview, one that stands out is when he states 'we can't keep throwing money into health' that old neoliberal chestnut which is code for privatising health through (public private partnerships) #nzpol

Hipkins stamp is the conservative stamp and it has run out of ink. The voters tossed him out after his brief insipid do nothing prime ministership but instead of taking notice he has doubled down despite this rejection. He's a dead man walking

A faint hope I had was that the AI boom would be over and exposed as the scam it is before they set their sights on NZ or we had a Govt not willing to be taken in by these billionaires. But think about it further even if we have a Lab led coalition in Govt they are foolish enough to be suckered in.

It's the time of year where the media focus on public service Xmas parties. In my experience these are mostly self funded whereas corporates have egregiously extravagant events ultimately funded by their customers.
Like, look at this headline next to a picture of Peggy Burrows, a principal called out by the DPM last week. If you read the article, she hasn't done anything that's mentioned in the headline. Is thus a hit piece or what? #nzpol
